Im surprised O'Rourke didnt also discuss Krugman's ludicrous Times article.

Rich, I suspect you really don't know what a corner is, or you don't have any memory skills.

Yeah, I agree. Unfortunately because he's a ....oooh.... Princeton professor, his oped's carry the weight of news.

"Corner" can refer to a lot of things, Ron. A better location to do business, or something you paint yourself into, are only a couple possibilities. As a matter of fact though, I do have a memory. I recall, just for example, how the media cautioned everyone not to jump to any conclusions when the traitor Hasan shouted "My God is cooler than yours!" when he grabbed the high ground and started murdering soldiers in Texas.

You're a shining tribute to President Obama's message in Tucson, YngBlk. Shining, I say!

And it would be disingenuous to say that in your OP, you meant other than 'corner the market'.

Now, you see, it is just this type of attitude that may well eventually actually cause the bloodshed that you are incorrectly attempting to throw onto the "TEA partiers" (and others who do not completely buy into the leftist agenda).

Not every conservative is a tea PARTY member, DomYngBlk.  I know the media and certain progressives would love to paint us that way but it just isn't so.

Even your leader...the mighty Obama...declared at the Memorial that what had happened was NOT due to rhetoric.  So...is it that he can see that what was being stated was wrong....or is he wrong?  Is he lying?  Or is he talking out of both sides of his mouth?

Merc (remember Merc of Mercnbeth fame, wish he would pop back) used to attribute two kinds of quotes to me, those I wished I had said, and those I actually said, and truth be told, I wish I would have said the ones I didn't say more often than not than the ones I did say.

Ah, but such is life ..........

In regard to the first, I think that one of the victims of the shooting had a right to be angry.

Regarding the second, this has become the standard conservative defensive posture about this, so I have to ask why they feel the need to be defensive if their rhetoric really had no influence.

I also have to wonder why this crazy person who we are told could have went on a rampage against anyone happened to choose
a political event to do so.  He could have just wandered into the Safeway and had a wide range of targets.

This has been in the  news for days, yet not one person until you  decided to "rile up or dial up the rhetoric" on this board.  You that brings it up trying to make a point?

Yeah that's a pack of dangerous killers all right. Like this guy

In March 2005, Western Michigan University police arrested Samuel Mesick and charged him with a misdemeanor charge of disturbing the peace after Mesick threw a cup of salad dressing on Pat Buchanan.

I'm shocked Pat survived the vicious unprovoked marinating.
